Here's what he had to say.

So the inevitable question is, why is Cucurella not punished?

And Fernandez is, when Cucurella's come out and said, if it was up to me, I wouldn't have sacked the manager.

Because you don't know what they're doing.

Right.

They absolutely don't know what to do.

How are you supposed to take anything that you say as serious or truthful or honest?

Because that's absolute garbage.

And if I'm Enzo Fernandez or I'm in the dressing room, I'm sitting going, what's going on here?

Hold on a sec.

How come one guy actually comes blatantly out and say, you know, you could argue that what Enzo Fernandez said, apparently according to everybody else, oh, it's all, he's actually said that, but he means this and he means that and he means that, where Cucurella just spewed the beans and said exactly what he thought and how the players feel in the dressing room, but yet he gets nothing.

I mean, if that doesn't tell you that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing, I mean, it's just absolute garbage.

Stevie, Enzo Fernandes has made an interview and he has been, you know, been clever with the Madrid things, or maybe not so much because he's been suspended, but I'm sure he'll sit back and have a cup of tea when his teammates are running around and think, well, you know, I'll get play time somewhere else.

But he basically intimated, according to everybody else, that he would like to go and play somewhere else.

And Chelsea took Umbridge at that and have suspended him.

Mark Cuccarella has basically said the people running this club have no idea and the decisions they make are poor.

And yet he plays.

So it's OK to question the leadership of this club and basically say, I think they're clueless.

But it's not OK to say, you know, I'd quite like to go and live in Madrid one day and maybe play somewhere else.

That's what they're saying with these two decisions.
